) "Staff little bit rude, nice food, good prices"
"There was loads of parking and fresh fruit seller and a small shop."
"A modern service station with shops, toilets and a restaurant."
5 Great place to stop for good, fast food double egg and chips €6.50 Paella €7.50 (Sunday). There was loads of parking and fresh fruit seller and a small shop.
5 This was a stop on the motorway for lunch that turned into a very successful one. Hopefully we can find it again. We ordered food, which looks hectic but is delivered very quickly and priced really good . Lots of people eating. The place had the cleanest toilets we had come across and plenty of parking available. There is also a shop, another selling regional products and another stall selling fruit. In the height of summer I expect it to be very busy but a great find.
5 very good services, kitchen open 800 - 2300, food well presented and cooked fresh served hot, not a microwave. prices are good for services. toilets and showers are kept clean and in good order. good hard stand parking, plus has a dedicated campervan area with water and emptying point.
5 Great place for a break on the highway! Try the grilled chicken it's so tasty and yummy
5 A very busy and well used watering hole. Stopped here for petrol on our way to Huelva, they also have LPG and electric charging points. We had a couple of filled rolls and coffees, very reasonable.
5 We had a breakfast there, it was nice. The staff were polite. A good place to stop by on the road when travelling by car.
4 I had a great hot shower for 3€. It was remarkably clean and spacious. I filled up with fuel and had a coffee. Service was friendly. The whole place was busy and very loud. There is a stall opposite the cafe which sells fresh fruit and vegetables. Behind the complex is an area de Autocaravanas which I did not investigate.
4 A nice, clean place to stop and eat. Plenty of parking for trucks
